Exploring the Impact of Trauma-Informed, Personalized Learning on Student Well-Being and Educational Achievement: A Qualitative Case Study
Milena Tyler von Wrangel
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Alliant International University
This exploratory study considers how and to what effect personalized and trauma-informed learning were implemented by one teacher at one continuation high school ("XHS"). There is growing evidence regarding the effectiveness of personalized learning in improving student academic achievement (Pane et al., 2015) but limited research into the modality's impact on student mental health outcomes. More research exists on the benefits of trauma-informed school practices to student mental health, but these practices tend to exist as separate mental health interventions running alongside rather than fully integrated into traditional educational curriculums. There is limited research on the use of the two modalities together, likely because the barriers to their implementation are such that few schools can implement them in any meaningful or wide-ranging way. Given that existing research shows promise for these modalities' positive impact on student well-being and achievement variables, this research aimed to expand the body of knowledge into trauma-informed, personalized learning by considering the impact of these two modalities on student well-being and academic achievement. Former students, staff, and volunteers (n = 16) were interviewed regarding their experiences at the school. Consensual Qualitative Research methods revealed seven overarching domains with multiple underlying themes. The seven domains were: 1) educational attitudes and values, 2) past experiences with K-12 education, 3) academics/learning at XHS, 4) student mental health/well-being, 5) social dynamics at XHS, 6) cultural identity/diversity/intersectionality, and 7) impact of classroom experiences at XHS. Practical implications for educators and clinicians are discussed, as well as study limitations and directions for future research.
